حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ قَابُوسَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ آخِرُ شِدَّةٍ يَلْقَاهَا الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمَوْتُ وَفِي قَوْلِهِ يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَاءُ كَالْمُهْلِ قَالَ كَدُرْدِيِّ الزَّيْتِ وَفِي قَوْلِهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ وَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا ذَهَابُ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ هُوَ ذَهَابُ الْعُلَمَاءِ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1946
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: The last hardship the believer faces is death. And he said concerning the verse, "The Day that the sky will be like al-muhl" [al-Ma'arij 70:8]: [This means] the filth of oil. And he said concerning the verse, "during the hours of the night” [Al- 'Imran 3:113]: [This means] in the depths of the night. And he said: Do you know what the disappearance of knowledge is? He said: It is the disappearance of the scholars from the earth.
